Swag
 

Any of the sponsors offer free calendars, t-shirts, pens, notepads, or whatever to their affiliates? I have yet to find one, and even specific requests for such to the sponsors that I heavily promote, have resulted in "no we don't offer that" responses. Surely there has to be someone from whom I can score a free shirt or something! :-)

Promote us and I will have you in a new shirt every week with your name on them

that is not swag you fucking idiot.

we have tons of that kind of stuff.
or if you head to a show I buy you beer even better!!!

I like that idea because not only are you sending traffic but your promoting the program through merchandise.

When I finally get a program off the ground i'm going to have something like this for affiliates.

:thumbsup

If you nab two sales for us this month, I'll send you some shirts, maybe a hat if we have any good ones handy, and I'll steal a coworker's mouse-pad, just for you :winkwink:

Tried to sign-up for your program -- the domain is unreachable at this time.

If you are getting in this business for free calendars and tshirts...then you might consider trying another field. Other than my bitchy comment...try contacting the sponsor after you have been bringing them good business for a while.

I'm pretty sure any of the large affiliate programs will provide you with free stuff if you send sales.

Ill send you a tshirt for 10,000 uniques.

Already done that. Always good to see that people have a need to express themselves, and choose these sorts of methods to do so.

You are correct that offering such promotional items to affiliates can have a positive effect on the sponsor -- both via the advertising effects of the items, and increased affiliate satisfaction.

There are companies for whom I bring thousands of dollars in sales each month who have answered "no" to requests for simple items like a company pen or a shirt. Now, of course, not getting such an item isn't going to stop me from selling for them (I'm obviously making a nice profit from all those sales), but I think it does also help maintain a positive sponsor-affiliate relationship.

We have free Tshirts for our affiliates.
